finally to the survivors of harvey weinstein. i owe and we all owe and immense debt to you, who had the courage beyond measure to speak your story to the world to this courtroom, at great personal risk and in great personal pain. to those of us privileged to be in the courtroom when they testified, you know what i mean. these survivors weren't just brave, they were heroic. words can't describe adequately the sacrifices the survivors made to pursue justice. weinstein, with his manipulation, attorneys and publicists and his spies, did everything he could to silence the survivors. they refused to be silent. they spoke from their hearts and were heard and heard by other survivors and to sexual survivors all over the world they sacrificed their privacy knowing better than anyone weinstein's power of retribution and abuse. to them, i would say you broke silence to hold him accountable. believe me when i say because you have done so a generation of sexual assault survivors and all of us heard your every word. thank you. i will take a co

harvey weinstein‘s downfall has been swift. harvey weinstein apologised. as the claims continued, he was sacked by his own company. and just days later, 13 more women published their stories in the new yorker magazine. including three accusations of rape which he strongly denies. there is now at least a realisation in hollywood that if change is to come, simply shrugging all looking the other way is no longer enough. tim gray is the senior vice president of variety and hejoins us from senior vice president of variety and he joins us from los angeles. thank you forjoining us. first off, just how momentous is this? it's big. the story broke a week ago. the allegations have been rumoured for yea rs allegations have been rumoured for years and years but when you saw people on the record giving these horrific details, i have been there for more than 30 years. i don't amend anything on this scale. obviously they had to be seen to act in this day and age. what next really, not only to the academy but for harvey. what has he lost? at this point, i can't imagine hi

instead he let weinstein go. shortly after harvey weinstein's lawyer sent him a $10,000 donation. coincidence? right. what about tina brown? in the late 1990s, she left "the new yorker" magazine to partner with weinstein. brown conceded there were whispers about weinstein's behavior. she admits that he would get favorable treatment to favorable women he was cultivating. she saw him squash negative articles about himself by leaking information about other stars. but nobody really knew for sure. come on. i worked for "talk" magazine at the time. trust me. tina brown knew. she was weinstein's business partner for two years and a famously perceptive person. until now, she's never mentioned any of it. it's not like she hasn't had the chance. for the past seven years, tina brown has a run the women of the world summit to discuss the challenges women face worldwide. a single word from brown in any of these conferences might have saved a lot of women a lot of pain at the hands of harvey weinstein. but tina brown didn't say a word, nor did hillary clinton or meryl streep, both longtime fri

weinstein got them alone but it's also the story of harvey weinstein not alone. it's harvey weinstein himself and the weinstein company trying to keep the lid on all these allegations, including at least eight reported cash settlements pied to women who made claims against harvey weinstein. but as in so many other instances like this, this is also the story of an open secret of this alleged behavior being something that was widely known and widely discussed in the industry. those of us who are outside the industry wouldn't necessarily have been privy to those rumors but you know what? because it's the show business industry, we can see evidence of that. we can see evidence of how widely this was understood and talked about and tacitly accepted in the fact that harvey weinstein's behavior toward actresses and toward young women was joked about repeatedly, openly, like on tv shows and when they were announcing the oscar nominations. >> oh,s please. i'm not afraid of anyone in show business. i turned down intercourse with harvey weinstein than no less than three occ

how did you comeme in contact wh harvey weinstein? >> well, the stories are beginning to sound monotonous, right? chillingly familiar. i was waiting tables. i was a student at smith college and several friends and i had decided to spend the summer in new york city pursuing our dream. so we sublet an apartment. i was waiting tables at a restaurant, and that is where i met both top and harvey weinstein. they were relative newcomers o n the scene. explained to me their new company miramax. and pretty soon, i was given to believe that i might be someone who could audition for a movie they were going to be writing and directing. it would have been their first movie they were writing and directing here in the united states. i think i thought to myself, such a new company might not take such a new unknown person for granted, so i decided that i would try to audition for that movie. throughout the course of the summer, i received scripts. i did visit the office on occasion. then i was invited to what i believed was harvey's apartment. my expe

it is not just harvey weinstein 10, me, zero. it is men at the oscars 10 all women at the oscars zero. once you tell a joke like that. it is a joke about men being men. it is a joke about what we all have to assume to be the case, which is that these women had to use their sexualized bodies to get these parts and no heavy they don't have to anymore. give me a break. amy: tomi-ann roberts, i want to ask you about another fact that has e emerged with these revelations, namely that a disturbing one is that weinstein systematically used women who worked with him or for him to facilitate a number of thesese liaisons with aspiring vulnerable and vulnerable actresses who hoped to get work from him. so could you talk about that, or yeah, iat he made guessed made his female employees do this work for him? in the second thing, which in number of people have pointed out, sexual abuse was by no means the only kind of abuse he dispensed. he was known for flying into fits of rage and systematically demeaning his employees, both male and female

how did hollywood prop up harvey weinstein? this is not just one as rose mcgowan put it monster. >> no. i think it's in the context also of the casting couch. this horrible tradition that somehow has been romanticized in the annals of hollywood history that it is expected and it's got this romantic notion that somehow it is pleasant for the women as well. i think in some ways harvey seems to have been modeling himself on those old silver screen moguls who ran studios in the 30's. i think there's a kind of almost like it wasn't that bad feeling around it. it seems that harvey was able to compartmentalize himself as well and stop people from knowing things. i think it's clear that a lot of people didn't know things and jody and megan did a lot of work and looked to the agents in particular and they were agents who knew what was going on and they still send young women into those hotel suites. so people knew. a lot of people knew. a lot of people knew something even if they didn't know everything. ursula macfarlane, director of th
